4 Long Term Vision Mexico's Position Based on a principle of justice and equity, Mexico: Proposes a flexible process Proposes (aspirational goal) to of per capita emissions reduce 50% of itsemissions by 2050* *with respect to 2000 Implications: Industrialized countries progressively reduce their per capita emissions and mobilize financial and technological support toward developing countries on an unprecedented scale; Developing countries maintain their emissions beneath the base line, while achieving full and sustainable development; Jointly and step by step the international community tends to converge by mid century at a global average at or below 2.8 tco2e per capita / per year. Long Term Vision Mexican mitigation pathway The long term aspirational goal Is not a legally binding commitment It is conditioned to: the availability of technical and financial support from developed countries the signature of a multilateral agreement in line with globally adopted parameters (2 3 C increase of average temperature; stabilization of CO 2 e concentration at 450 ppm) The indicative goal states that if the international community were determined to successfully face the immense The indicative goal states that, if the international community were determined to successfully face the immense challenge that climate change poses, Mexico would be ready to fulfill its corresponding part.

5 Evolution of GHG emissions in Mexico Mexico contributes approximately 1.6% of the world GHG emissions, with a total of 715MtCO2e in 2006, ranking in 12th place among top emitters.

Long Term Vision Climate Change costs The Economics of Climate Change in Mexico Climate change costs are higher than mitigation costs Certain external costs are unacceptable. It is the case of drastic loss of biodiversity. A comprehensive analysis of co benefits would abate net mitigation costs.

7 PECC and NAMA s PECC : The program fosters national efforts on climate change mitigation during the period and acts as foundation to continued efforts beyond d2012. Includes unilateral NAMA s for Mexico as a developing country. PECC NAMA s are aligned with the National Development Plan and the Sectoral Programs ( ) of the Federal Government. All NAMA s included in PECC with federal budget guaranteed Though require financial assistance to implement improved MRVs. Conditional NAMAs vs. Credit Generating NAMAs Conditional NAMAs provide up front finance while credit generating NAMAs provide carbon credits after the reductions are achieved Unilateral and conditional NAMAs are designed to allow developing countries to capture the low hanging fruit as their contribution to protection of the climate Credit generating baselines are designed to offer higher cost reduction options to the carbon market as offsets Conditional NAMAs can create a race to the top as proposals from different developing countries compete for up front financing

8 Conditional NAMAs vs. Credit Generating NAMAs Conditional NAMAs offer a new opportunity for up front financing i to encourage further innovation in key industries Sectoral crediting will likely play a more relevant role compared to CDM as the source of carbon market finance for Mexico Eight energy laws and bills new or reformedconstitute the essence of the reform Promotion of renewable sources of energy and the sustainable use of energy: 1. New Law for a Sustainable Use of Energy 2. New Law for the Use of Renewable Energy and the Financing of the Energy Transition Better strategic planning and control capacities: 3. Article 33rd of the Federal Public Administration Organic Law (new attributions to SENER) 4. Law of the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) 5. New Law of the National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) Pemex strengthening: 6. New Law of Pemex 7. Regulatory Law of the Constitutional Article 27 relating to Oil Matters 8. Law of Federal Rights

9 Law for the Use of Renewable Energy and the Financingof theenergy Transition Created to promote the use of the renewable energy sources and clean technologies to generate electric power with purposes other than providing the public service of electric power, as well as to establish the national strategy and the instruments for the financing of the energy transition Gives the Secretariat of Energy and the Energy Regulatory Commission new attributions to make rules and strategies to include more renewable energy in the national portfolio Creates the Energy Transition and Sustainable Energy Use Fund, with 3,000 million pesos per year from 2009 to 2011, to achieve the energy transition GHG Abatement Cost Curve for Mexico in 2030 (USD/t CO 2 e) No regrets mitigation measures Degraded forest reforestation Forest g Solar PV HDV* diesel package 4 Increased electric public transport Smart grid management Cogeneration in Agronomy 100 oil and gas Off CCS in oil practices LDV* gasoline package 2 Biofuels 2nd shore and gas 80 generation On wind Cropland nutrient management Solar shore Increased and CSP 60 Other wind industry Biofuels 1st more efficient 40 Landfill gas Grassland generation bus transport electricity Recycling management 20 generation waste Small hydro Geothermal Organic soils New build -40 Livestock restoration Oil to gas antimethanogen vaccine Nuclear efficiency Abatement Reduced shift in package, -60 potential, LDV* gasoline package 4 deforestation power Pastureland afforestation residential LDV* gasoline package 3 Mt CO 2 e/year -80 Landfill gas direct use Reduced flaring -100 in oil and gas Tillage and residue management -120 Wastewater -140 Appliances, residential treatment abatement opportunities identified at a price below US$90/tCO Electronics, residential 2 e abated -180 (excluding transaction and information costs) New build lighting controls, commercial 40 percent of the abatement potential is negative or zero cost LEDs Weighted average abatement cost is about US$2/ tco 2 e No silver bullet to emissions reduction exists action is required in all sectors Many abatement opportunities are fragmented, e.g., energy efficiency and process improvements in industry *LDVs = light duty vehicles; HDVs = heavy duty vehicles Note: The cost estimate for the light colored bars is approximate Source: McKinsey GHG abatement cost curve v2.0; McKinsey analysis

10 Mexico s Mitigation Opportunities 2030 Mexico could achieve an emission reduction of 222 million tco 2 e in 2030, pursuing 70 no regrets measures identified at a zero or negative cost. This would position Mexico in a CO 2 concentration stabilization pathway, associated with the mitigation long term goal (with respect to the year 2000).

12 Green Fund s Objectives The GF will achieve: Collective ownership Transcending donor recipient model Real, measurable, reportable mitigation action Integration of: Predictability Scalability The GF will complement (not replace) carbon markets Mitigation The GF will mobilize Some proportion financial resources of resources for to significantly Adaptation ti enhance the mitigation potential of developing Full consistency with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities Equitable multilateral governance COP oversight countries 10 billions to start and then a billion each year GF s Funding The contributions to the Fund will be based upon the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities. The criteria are measured by the following indicators: Criteria Indicator 1. The polluter pays total emissions by country 2. Environmental equity per capita emissions 3. Carbon intensity emissions by country with respect to GDP 4. Capacity to pay per capita income by country and share of country in world economy Total contribution i by country will equal the weighted ih sum of the above indicators. It follows that the sum of the weights must equal one. Equity
